FAQs
What size weights are recommended for the base?
While specific weight recommendations are not provided, it is advisable to use weights that provide a substantial counterbalance to the parasol's size and potential wind resistance. Typically, sandbag weights or water-filled weights designed for cantilever parasols are suitable. Ensure the total weight is sufficient for stability in your local conditions.
How do I adjust the tilt of the parasol?
Locate the tilt mechanism, usually a lever or crank system on the parasol's arm. Follow the mechanism's instructions to select one of the five available tilt positions.
Can this parasol be rotated 360 degrees?
Yes, the parasol features 360° movement, allowing it to be rotated fully around its base. This is typically operated by pushing or pulling the canopy or using a specific rotation handle.
What is the warranty period for this parasol?
The Outsunny parasol comes with a 12-month guarantee.
What are the dimensions of the parasol when open?
The canopy dimensions are 245cm (Length) x 245cm (Width), and the overall height is 248cm.
Is the fabric waterproof?
The polyester fabric is UV and fade-resistant, offering protection from the sun. While it may repel light rain, it is not designed to be fully waterproof and should be closed or stored during significant rainfall.
Can I leave the parasol open in windy conditions?
It is not recommended to leave the parasol open in windy conditions, even with weights. Strong winds can cause instability and damage. Always close the parasol when not in use or if winds pick up.
Troubleshooting
Parasol is unstable or wobbly
Ensure the cross base is assembled correctly and that sufficient weights have been added. Distribute weights evenly across the base.
Canopy doesn't tilt or rotate smoothly
Check for any obstructions preventing movement. Gently try to adjust the tilt mechanism and rotation handle. Ensure all locking pins are fully disengaged before attempting to move.
Fabric is dirty or stained
Use a mild soap solution and a damp cloth to gently clean the affected area. Rinse with clean water and allow to air dry completely.
Pole seems loose in the base
Tighten the screws or locking mechanism that secures the pole to the base. Ensure the pole is seated correctly within the base.
